Turns out, our health-minded community is on to something. Warm, moist environments are where bacteria really like to grow, says Dr. Pritish Tosh, M.D., infectious diseases physician at the Mayo Clinic. And if the gym isn't a warm, moist environment, we don't know what is. "There is certainly a potential for transmission of certain kinds of infections," he says.

Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:

To protect yourself from infection, its best to wipe the machine down right before you get on and make sure it is dry before you use it so assure all germy germs are dead.

Can belief in God predict how someone responds to mental health treatment? A recent study suggests it might.

Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:

“Patients who had higher levels of belief in God demonstrated more effects of treatment,” said the study’s lead author, David H. Rosmarin, a psychologist at McLean Hospital and director of the Center for Anxiety in New York. “They seemed to get more bang for their buck, so to speak.”

One possible reason for this, he said, is that “patients who had more faith in God also had more faith in treatment. They were more likely to believe that the treatment would help them, and they were more likely to see it as credible and real.”

A chief mistake many app developers made initially was to replicate the desktop record onto the mobile app, which 83% of users said they did not like. Instead, doctors preferred simplified versions of the record on their mobile devices.

Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:

For those of us with wheat allergies, we desire variety and choices. I had Glutino pancakes and they were BETTER than the wheat-based brands. Ask my teenage son who just saw pancake mix not knowing they were Glutino and the whole family are now disciples of this pancake mix over wheat ones.

Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:

In this study of soccer players, heading was associated with both abnormal white matter microstructure and poorer neurocognitive performance.These heading associations were not explained by a history of concussion.

Maybe eyebrows seem trivial to you. Probably given the grand scheme of things, they should be to me. Yet it feels somehow vacant to have a face without eyebrows. So I made the call to the cancer support group Look Good Feel Better.
